Stelmak Baffles Bardah
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
We caught the action on a board which Dmitry Stelmak had checked. Ronnie Bardah bet 9,000 and was stunned to see Stelmak pop it to 23,500.
Bardah asked, "Do you really have ace-jack? Or are you just turning your hand into a bluff?"
Not only did Stelmak not answer, he called the clock while Bardah thought it over. As the time ran down Bardah called, but saw the bad news as Stelmak tabled .
Stelmak: Up to roughly 80,000
Bardah: Down to about 40,000
